Controlio is an employee monitoring software designed to let you track what your employees are up to and gain insights into their workflow and behavior. With it you can more effectively manage your employees, and improve productivity as well as security.

If you want to know how effective it is at doing all that, this review will cover the most important aspects of the software.

Key Features

To be honest, Controlio’s feature are very comprehensive and there are simply too many of them to go into detail about every single one. That said, here are the key features about this employee monitoring software that you definitely need to know:

• Detailed tracking data that includes app and web usage, emails, IM messages, file transfers, downloads, and more. If necessary it can also capture screenshots, keystrokes, or screen recordings.

• Productivity measurement via its Productivity Score that is calculated from mouse and keyboard interactions and the types of apps and websites that employees are using. Detailed performance trends are also available to keep tabs on any increases or decreases in productivity so that targeted solutions can be applied.

• Attendance and time clock that track when employees clock-in and exactly how many hours they spend working. It will also show how frequently employees take breaks and for how long.

• Behavior rules and alerts for individuals, groups of employees or the entire company that can be set up to trigger when employees take certain actions and send you alerts or even block the action entirely in some cases. This can be used to prevent or target unwanted behavior and improve security.

• Real-time monitoring that will show you details of exactly what employees are doing at that very moment and will even let you open up a live stream of their screen if necessary. If suspicious behavior is detected this can be extremely useful.

All this is just the tip of the iceberg, but should give you a clear idea of what Controlio is capable of and how it can help you to manage regular employees, remote workers, or employees on flexible work hours – and improve their productivity.
